knack II very likely to confuse ms
horse instead of inspiring him with
confidence. Any uncertainty on the
part of the rider is detected very quickly
by the horse, and the latter will refuse
the jump. The rider must not pull on
the reins while going over, but must
let the horse have his head. If you
were jumping over bar and somebody
should pull your head back or to one
side just as you left the ground, you
would be likely to lose your balance
and fall. 1t is just the same with a
horse.
Clearly it is an error to look upon
riding after hounds as spiritless sport
1t requires nerve and good horseman-
ship, and is very healthful exercise.
To ride well and be able to take Long
Island rail fences man must keep HIM
self in pretty good condition. Late
hours and dissipation, any thing that
tends to disturb the nerves, must be
avoided. 1t seems to me much more
sensible form of amusement than loiter-
ing about in club and drinking all day
long. 1t takes the young men out of
doors, where they breathe pure air, and
the excitement is only of the kind that
is good for healthy man. There is
some danger of course. but it is in hui
man nature to crave certain amount
of that. There is danger in yacht
ing, shooting. playing polo, and many
other sports. Perhaps there is more
danger in riding at fences and scurry-
ing across country, but it educates ones
nerves and develops courage. The
presence or absence of the wild fox
makes no difference in the sport. The
riding is just the same, the fences just
as high, and the danger as great in one
case as in the other. The hounds run
on the anise scent the same as they do
after the fox, and much of the amuse-
ment and interest consists in watching
them and studying their ways. If it
were not for the necessity of keeping
the hounds keen and interested it would
be better not to run a fox at the end.
The object of fox-hunting is not SO
much the killing of a fox as it is the
riding after hounds over fields and
fences.-NeU York Cor. of Chicago Tyi6-

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

Its Vocabulary the Most Heterogeneous
That Ever EXISTED.
BY actual enumeration Of the words
contained in the best dictionaries, it
has been ascertained that 1880 En-
glish words are Of Saxon origin and
20, 1854 of classical origin. In conse-
quence of the popular nature Of the
Teutonic words in the language, the
Saxon element largely preponderates
in the works Of our greatest writers.
The pronouns, numerals, propositions
and auxiliary verbs, the names Of the
elements and their changes, Of the
season, the heavenly bodies, the
divisions of time, the features Of natural
scenery, the organs Of the body, the
modes of bodily action and posture.
the commonest animals, the words used
in earliest childhood, the ordinary
terms of traffic, the constituent words
in proverbs, the designations of kindred,
the simpler emotions Of the mind, terms
of pleasantly, satire, contempt. indigDar
ton, invcctive and anger are. for tho
most part. of Saxon origin. Words in
dicating more advanced ci vilization
and complex feelings, and most Of the
terms employed in art, science, mental
and moral philosophy are Of classical
origin. The English language, which
is now spoken by nearly one hundred
millions of the earth's inhabitants, is
in its vocabulary one of the most het-
erogeneous that ever existed. There
is, perhaps, no language 50 full Of
words, evidently derived from the most
distant sources, as English. Every
country of the globe seems to have
brought some Of its verbal n,anufact-

Death of a Noble Woman.

Those who knew Anandabai Joshee,
the Hindoo woman who studied medi-
cine in this city and who graduated and
took the M. d. degree in 1886, and who
at all understood the nature of the mis-
sion she undertook. will hear with the
very sincercst of regret of her death. 1t
requires much courage for an American
woman to study medicine and to prac-
tice it as profession, but this Hindoo
woman, in undertaking this study, vio-
lated some of the most important ira
ditions of her race and defied the most
bigoted opinions of the social order to
which she belonged. She did what she
did because she knew that there was
urgent and pressing need in India for
the ministrations of fe male physicians,
and her memory deserves to be held in
lasting honor for the courage and con-
sistency with which she sought to per-
form great and pressingly important

The most important point is to avoid
